7digital What we said: Being born in Sudan, raised in Ohio and based in Brooklyn, it is perhaps inevitable that Ahmed Gallab’s distinct heritage bleeds into his musical compositions. What is less predictable, however, is the skill with which he splices genres and switches-up styles to create a sound truly his own. Recorded in tandem to his duties as Musical Director on David Byrne’s William Onyeabor retrospective, third LP Mean Love is Gallab’s most diverse effort to date, incorporating everything from East and West African music, to funk, soul and country-rock. Do as we say and head straight for silky slow jam ‘Hold Tight’, which features some impressive Curtis Mayfield-esque falsetto.
